What's love got to do with it? Everything! We have been talking about love on Wednesdays. God is speaking to me in my life in regards to love. We will continue to talk about love and move in love. We spent a week looking for kind acts of love and spent another week doing those acts ourselves. Having the students looking for acts of kindness, demonstrating love was great. I got some really good feedback on that week. They were surprised at how much people were really being kind and showing love.
We went to Acquire the Fire and they talked about love. They had two significant break out sessions. For the guys they talked about having a plan, to be prepared to protect their purity for their future wife. The teacher spoke about the passion button and how to see situations that would lead to trouble and stay clear. For the girls they spoke about self respect and purity. They talked to the girls about having higher standards for guys. Charlotte said that the girls really picked up on the message and spent a lot of time talking about it in the small groups. I was like "Amen!" because I have a daughter in there too. Acquire The Fire rocked! The students had a good time and some really connected with God this weekend. We will continue to talk about love and develop loving acts to others in and out of the church. This is a very exciting time!! In the natural eye our community, state and country could use more of this type of love and caring. I challenge you this week to look for acts of love happening around you. I hope you will find, like I do, that it ignites an internal drive to look for opportunities to act in kindness. Love addict, Jim Mather |
